An evening at Harrods with fascinating perfume creator Véronique Gabai

Recently, Jo caught up with Véronique Gabai at lunch – and it was like being beamed to the South of France, on what was quite a gloomy, chilly day. Véronique is a female founder – with a completely fabulous namesake brand – and from first sniff, we’ve found her fragrances utterly transporting, many of them somehow capturing light and sunshine and… well, see that photo above? You get the perfumed picture.

We’ll be sharing a little more about three of the fragrances from the fab Véronique Gabai house next week – but meanwhile, thought you might like to know that on 1st July 2025, Véronique is taking you on ‘A Journey of Notes’ at Harrods, in their Meet The Perfumer event series.

Here’s the invitation, on the Harrods website… ‘Join the eponymous founder for a proverbial stroll along the French Riviera, the seaside dreamscape that inspired the brand’s latest scent, Eau d’Azur. Tune in to hear Gabai discuss the power of fragrance layering and learn how to create your signature scent.’
